The work of the CONTRA dance company is distinguished by a refined and dense expression of musicality. Movement serves to embody the score or complement it in a manner akin to counterpoint. The multidimensional and emotional aspects of music form the foundation of the movement, which in turn aims to transcribe the experiences, relationships, sensations, and emotions that permeate our lives.

The focus is on what moves us, tackling themes as complex and demanding as vulnerability, solitude, trauma, relationships with oneself and others, consciousness, control, and surrender. The company strives to distill and translate universal questions into choreographic pieces designed to provoke thought and connect us to essential and profound aspects of our humanity.
